Mary, the German you quoted is using the present tense with a present continuous meaning - Who is nibbling on my house?, since she caught them in the act. Bruce |

When explaining the difference between present perfect and present perfect continuous I usually compare them to simple present and present continuous (one focuses more on the action, the other on the result). |

Who has been posting all the witty answers here? Who (has ?) dared to enlighten us with the grammar? Why is that every time I log on to this website something interesting has been going on? Is it just me who has always believed that there �s no perfection to knowledge ? :) Since I was away some interesting points have been made, I �ve been reading the posts all day long and have managed to make some interesting conclusions. Have you not noticed? Then, probably, you have not been reading the topic carefully enough :) P.S. These are the examples of the tenses , hopefully I have made no blunders, I have been reviewing this post for five minutes already ...
